Danhausen made his big debut with WWE at the Elimination Chamber premium live event earlier this year, and he has since gone on to become one of the most popular stars on the WWE roster. While Danhausen’s character has become familiar to millions, it looks like he will be getting a temporary gimmick change in the weeks to come.
WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select is reporting that following the tremendous success involving Danhausen over the Halloween season, the current plan is for Danhausen to be portrayed as Santahausen over the next few months.
According to the report several Christmas themed merchandise items are being prepared for release ahead of the holidays. It’s being said that WWE has high hopes when it comes to the Christmas themed Danhausen merch lineup, which is set to include t-shirts, hoodies, puppets, magnets, and more.
In recent months Danhausen has played a key role in Gunther’s feud with Finn Balor on SmackDown. During Danhausen’s very nice, very evil SmackDown last month Danhausen resurrected The Demon who proceeded to destroy Gunther.
WWE had made up promotional material for a Finn Balor vs. Gunther match at Crown Jewel, but ultimately the company stuck with a four match card. You can get more details on why the match wasn’t added to the show here.
